Anamnesis vs empiricism

[Sirius]

Sorry, don't have time at the min to start this, anyone is welcome

In Plato's theory of epistemology, anamnesis (/ˌænæmˈniːsɪs/; Ancient Greek: ἀνάμνησις) refers to the recollection of innate knowledge acquired before birth. The concept posits the claim that learning involves the act of rediscovering knowledge from within oneself. This stands in contrast to the opposing doctrine known as empiricism, which posits that all knowledge is derived from experience and sensory perception. Plato develops the theory of anamnesis in his Socratic dialogues: Meno, Phaedo, and Phaedrus.

 Anamnesis (from the Attic Greek word ἀνάμνησις, lit. 'reminiscence' or 'memorial sacrifice')[sup][1][/sup] is a liturgical statement in Christianity in which the Church refers to the memorial character of the Eucharist or to the Passion, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus. It has its origin in Jesus' words at the Last Supper, "Do this in memory of me" ("τοῦτο ποιεῖτε εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν ἀνάμνησιν"), (Luke 22:19, 1 Corinthians 11:24-25).[sup][2][/sup][sup][3][/sup]
Anamnesis is also a key concept in the liturgical theology: in worship, Christians recall God's saving deeds.[sup][4][/sup] This memorial aspect is not simply a passive process but one by which the Christian can actually enter into the Paschal mystery.[sup][5][/sup]

Anamnesis is a rhetorical and literary device derived from the Greek word "ἀνάμνησις," meaning "remembrance" or "recollection." It involves the act of recalling or invoking memories or past experiences. This technique is used to create a connection with the audience by drawing on shared memories or personal experiences.[sup][1][/sup][sup][2][/sup] A more precise function of anamnesis involves the recall or reference to a previous author via memory.[sup][3][/sup]

 

When I, good friends, was called to the bar,
I'd an appetite fresh and hearty,
But I was, as many young barristers are,
An impecunious party...
In Westminster Hall I danced a dance
Like a semi-despondent fury;
For I thought I should never hit on a chance
Of addressing a British Jury.

In philosophy, empiricism is an epistemological view which holds that true knowledge or justification comes only or primarily from sensory experience and empirical evidence.[sup][1][/sup] It is one of several competing views within epistemology, along with rationalism and skepticism

The Vast Mind exercise allows you to get a glimpse of what it's like to transcend the self.
PAUSE THE VIDEO after each question, and TAKE THE TIME TO ANSWER FULLY!
All it takes is a quiet place away from other people or interruption (think about your mobile phone), and a little time (about 30 minutes).
By the end of the video, you should have an interesting experience. This exercise is based on a technique developed by Jungian psychologists Hal and Sidra Stone, and adapted by Dennis Genpo Merzel.

Understand, therefore, beloved,

how it is new and old,
eternal and temporary,
perishable and imperishable,
mortal and immortal, this mystery of the Pascha:
old as regards the force
but new as regards the Word;
temporary as regards the model (gr. typos),
eternal because of grace
perishable because of the slaughter of the sheep,
imperishable because of the life of the Lord;
mortal because of the burial in earth,
immortal because of the rising from the dead

— On the Pascha, 2-3



thread for you @quintessentone

Why thank you Sirius for the thought.

I skimmed through the video and believe it or not I have analyzed my mind through and through for a very long time.

I analyze my mind constantly and touch on some of those questions to purpose on a daily basis, however not all at the same time.

I think I exhibit all those mind traits here, such as contributing to the joke thread, the UFO threads, your mystical threads, etc. I am all over the place here because I have always had inquiring and analytical mind as I was that kid who asked "Why is the sky blue?"

As for Anamnesis vs empiricism, why do they have to be opposing? Why can't they both exist at the same time?

The bigger issues need not have to devolve into arguments if we all keep the intention as exploratory of each others' experiences/beliefs with no judgement, or judgement given in good faith. Famous last words.

I appreciate your word spouts, BTW, even if we don't always agree.

It may not be only the rudimentary right/left brain things, it may be more, or a combination thereof, of a soul/spirit advanced exploration where the bounds of truth evaporate for those that don't fear going there.

"Think of it like this: you’re not just one person, but a vibrant community of selves. There’s the Achiever, always pushing for success; the Caretaker, nurturing others; the Critic, pointing out flaws; and countless others. Each of these selves has a unique perspective and set of skills that contribute to your overall personality.

 But here’s where it gets interesting. Some of these selves take center stage in our lives, becoming what we call “primary selves.” These are the parts of us that we identify with most strongly, the ones that have helped us navigate life’s challenges and achieve our goals. They’re like the lead actors in our personal drama, commanding attention and driving our behavior.
 
On the flip side, we have “disowned selves.” These are the parts of us that we’ve pushed into the shadows, either because they conflict with our primary selves or because we’ve been taught to reject them. Maybe it’s the Playful Child that doesn’t fit with your Serious Professional self, or the Vulnerable One that your Strong Protector keeps hidden away.
 
Now, enter the star of the show: the Aware Ego. This isn’t another self, but rather a state of consciousness that can observe and navigate between all these different selves. It’s like the wise director who can see the bigger picture, appreciating each character’s role while ensuring a balanced performance."
